Gaustatoppen ridge traverse
Every day throughout the summer and autumn we have guided hiking tours to Gaustatoppen, the highest peak of southern Norway.

This trip is not difficult but we can guarantee you an experience of nature beyond the ordinary.

Rappelling means using rope, harness and other climbing equipment to abseil down, for example from a cliff or a bridge. A rappel into the canyon at Vemork is an exciting challenge and a chance to see nature from a different perspective.
